Review: TomTom sabotages Spark’s fantastic fitness watch features with bad design

 

Activity trackers are getting smaller and more stylish so you can wear them all day every day without your wrist becoming the center of attention. TomTom, maker of popular in-car navigation products, has taken the exact opposite approach with its line...

Accurate heart rate monitoring ; 3GB of local music storage for up to 500 songs ; GPS maps routes without a phone

Bulky hardware fits awkwardly on smaller wrists ; Adding music is a cumbersome process ; Touchpad navigation is difficult while running

TomTom put GPS, heart rate monitoring, and 3GB of on-board music storage in one clunky fitness watch.

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music

 

The TomTom Spark Cardio + Music fitness tracker offers GPS tracking, an accurate heart rate sensor, and onboard storage for tunes, making it a solid workout companion for music-minded fitness buffs.

Plays music without your phone. Tracks bicycling, running, sleeping, swimming, walking. Accurate heart rate monitor. Large display. Good battery life. Lightweight. Waterproof.

Dull design. Limited app. GPS takes a while to lock on. Adding music is cumbersome.

Conclusions The TomTom Spark Cardio + Music fitness tracker is a good choice for music-minded fitness buffs, and its waterproof design makes it safe for swimmers. But $250 is a lot to spend on a fitness tracker (especially when there are very solid...

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music Review

 

Face it; we all love gadgets. I love them more than most. I have been running a lot lately, training, competing, etc. While running with my phone is an option for training; running long distances with my phone isn't. Additionally, running through the...

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music Review

 

In some ways, it's very surprising that it's taken this long for a running watch to have the ability to store and play music. Considering the number of runners who listen to tunes, it's hard to believe that this feature was so long in coming. For that,...

Stream music from watch to headphones ; Small, slim design ; Easy to read outdoors

Annoying charger ; Difficult to load music ; Poorly designed app ; Shorter battery life than competition

You can stream music directly from the TomTom Spark Cardio + Music (and leave your phone at home), but poor software makes this a less-than-ideal running watch.

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music review: Leave your smartphone home

 

TomTom announced the Spark series of watches which had the added functionality of storing music on your watch to listen to while on your run, instead of lugging around your smartphone or portable media player for the same task.

TomTom Spark Cardio + Music is priced at Rs 21,999. There are other variants of the Spark such as the TomTom Spark GPS priced at Rs 13,999, TomTom Spark Cardio GPS priced at Rs 17,999 (with optical heart rate sensor) and TomTom Spark Music GPS priced...

TomTom Spark Music + Cardio review

 

Multi-sport magician or a confused cardio companion?

Properly powerful sports sensing ; Sounds and situation, without a smartphone ; All day tracking on tap ; Reliable location lock-on with QuickGPS

Divisive design ; Battery can disappear fast with GPS tracking ; Heart-rate tracking is way off ; Bluetooth signal susceptible to breaking up

A tracking ticker with promise that tries to be both sports sensor and all-day assistant – and fails at both
